In real disaster response deployments to date, robots have been used as fully teleoperated tools. With increasing autonomy, robotic systems should become agents that actively contribute to a mission. For this they need an awareness and understanding of the mission goals, the tasks of the human-robot team and how they are being carried out. Only then can robotic systems fulfill their tasks according to expectations and take initiative in a meaningful way. In order to develop technologies that will enable robots to understand and follow a mission, we employ spoken language processing and process assistance techniques to study and model the necessary collaboration and communication processes. We also develop innovative solutions based on process assistance and knowledge services to use the mission understanding to support efficient and effective performance of robot-assisted disaster response.
